Michael Creed Named Five Star Mortgage Professional for Sixth Year

BROOKFIELD, WIS. (APRIL 2023) — Michael Creed, a mortgage professional and Branch Manager with Luminate Home Loans, was recently awarded the Five Star Award by Five Star Professional for the sixth consecutive year. The award is nomination and research-based, and Creed was humbled to receive it for another year.


Five Star Professional is one of the nation’s largest award programs and is based in Eagan, Minn. According to the company, they strive to conduct “thorough market research to define and promote professional excellence” in over 45 markets, including home and financial professionals. The awards are in place to help consumers recognize service professionals who provide quality service to their clients.


“This is the sixth time I’ve received the Five Star Award for being a mortgage professional,” says Creed. “And every time I feel completely humbled. I have always taken pride in my work in the mortgage industry, but there’s something extra special when it comes to being recognized for the dedication I like to show our clients.”


Creed and his team at Luminate Home Loans believe that an informed consumer will make wise choices regarding their finances and mortgage, which is why they work so hard to be that source of knowledge. The team always takes the time on the front end to ensure clients have a smooth, on-time closing, and to do so with the most personalized experience possible.
